READ!!!!!!! An explanation for those who say Diclonius? What?!?! A diclonius is a 'mutated human' with cat-ear-like horns growing out of the side of their head above their ears. The generally have varying shades of red hair (some more pink, others more purple) and red eyes. I have only seen the anime so bear with me here…. They can control 'invisible arms' called vectors. These arms vary in length and number. The cause of these 'mutations' is that the diclonius' pineal gland is much larger than a humans. Diclonius' can infect humans by passing their vectors through humans pineal gland. Any offspring the human sires will be a diclonius. These diclonius are called silpelit and are incapable of reproducing. Only men can be infected. Diclonius are naturally born from humans and can reproduce.

James Potter winced as his wife crushed his hand in hers as another labor pain swept through her. "Alright dear, you may start pushing," their friend and medi-witch Poppy Pomfrey said as she examined Lily laying spread eagle on the bed. James dabbed at her face and neck with a damp washcloth, cooling her skin and casting a healing charm in the direction of his hand.

He winced again as his wife screamed, Poppy shouting encouraging words over the noise the whole time, her hands ready to catch the baby as it fell. James could see a rounded little lump where the baby was coming out and a tuft of bloody hair. "It's almost out, dear, just push. And… push." Lily groaned loudly as she gave a final push, freeing the baby into the world. She collapsed back into the pillows, listening to her husbands light murmurings and feeling the sponge on her face gently dab at her skin.

Poppy was silent as she cut the umbilical cord and turned to wash the baby up. As she pulled back the towel she lightly fingered the cat-ear-like horns coming out of the child's head, just above his ears. A tuft of pitch black hair covered the space in-between them. The child mewled lightly as the cool air hit him and Poppy wrapped him up in a fleece blanket.

"Here's your son," she said quietly, holding up the child.

"What's wrong?" James asked as Lily struggled to sit up. Poppy pushed the blanket down, exposing his head and hair. Silence filled the room, broken only by the small wails coming from the newborn.

"Are those… horns on his head?"

"What is he?" Poppy backed away from the child, staring in fear.

"Does it have to do with the prophesy?"

"No, Dumbledore would have told us this. He would have known."

"But, what are these horns?"

"Let's just do a glamour charm, to hide all of it."

"Good idea."

Poppy stood nervously as Lily cast the spell and the horns disappeared. "I'm sorry, Poppy, but you can't remember this."

"Obliviate!" James shouted, pointing his wand at Poppy before she had anytime to react.

"Oh, Harry. I'm going to name you Harry. Harry James, after your father." Poppy shook her head, having a brief image of a horned baby before it was gone.

"And that's a good name," she told Lily fondly. Lily and James traded looks, smiling, yet wondering what had gone wrong.

Lily opened the music box sitting on table next to them, rocking Harry in her favorite chair as her husband sat across from them reading a book. Lily opened her mouth, starting to sing lightly to tune in Latin. It was Harry's favorite tune; he lay still the whole time it played, lulled to sleep by its simple tune. James smiled at the sight of his wife cradling his son. He was a proud father of a perfect one year old child and loving wife. He left the room, pausing to look out of the window at the street they lived on in Godric's Hollow.

He was staring listlessly out the window at the beautiful sunset when the front door was blown off its hinges. Peter stood there, wringing his hands nervously as Voldemort appeared behind him, grinning manically. James' eyes widened. "Lily! Its him. Take Harry and run!"

Lily's eyes squeezed shut as she heard the commotion outside… She shut the music box off, scooping it up along with her son as she darted upstairs, tripping over the rug in her haste. She flung herself to the side as the bedroom door slammed against the wall. She clutched her blanket-wrapped son close, slipping the music-box into the cocoon as she pleaded with Voldemort. "No, please, not Harry, not my son. Take me instead."

"Stand aside you silly girl."

"NO! Take me instead!" Lily pleaded.

"AVADA KEDAVRA!" Green light flashed by Harry's face, seemingly to light the entire room alight.

Voldemort laughed high and cold as he turned his wand on Harry. He shouted the curse, lazily watching it speed towards the defenseless baby. He laughed again as the curse hit the child, but the mirth died in his throat as the boy absorbed the curse and sent it back at him. Voldemort had a brief glimpse at a cut shaped like a lightening bolt before his AK him hit him, and he knew no more.
